Thanks to the contributions of a few people, I easily had enough material to create a decent first issue. I hope that people like it, and that it helps spur some more contributions from people for future issues!

For the time being, this file is going to be hosted on Yahoo Groups, though I have made the file viewable to all people, not just members.

Comments and suggestions are welcome, as are more contributions! You can either post on this thread, or you can email me at Twilightgrimace_at_gmail_dot_com

If I can get a moderator to assist me with that, I'd be happy to. I set the parameters on the Yahoo Group so that the files should be viewable even to non-members. - Edit: But now I see that's not working correctly. I'll see if I can fix that.

I've also discovered, though I'm sure some of you already know this, that if you go to the "File" menu of Google Docs and select Download, you can download the file and then you get full functionality of the bookmarks and links.

Don't want to be that guy. But the member of the Adjutant General's Corps on page is in fact a member of the Intelligence Corps...

That's down to me, not Grimace or James. Iirc the cap badge wasn't clear on the original photo so I assumed it was AGC (which is very close in colour to the Int Corps). I should have checked the stable belt, which makes it obvious.

I'm thinking the end of time for contributors to submit material for Issue 2 will be the End of February. Then I'll have Issue 2 out by March. If I get a sudden, massive influx of material, then I might be able to get Issue 2 out sooner.

Especially loved the African article by Raellus. In my opinion it was easily the equal of many of the articles published in Challenge so long ago.

Still working on my own East Africa Sourcebook and should have it ready soon - and will see about getting you something from it for the next fanzine issue. May take a piece out of it for an article - possibly on the nuclear attacks in Africa which are part of it. My sourcebook has a different approach on Kenya than what Raellus has but that is the thing that makes Twilight 2000 such a great game - i.e. that freedom to innovate within the framework of the overall design of the game and the backstory.

Cant wait for the next issue and I hope for many others as well to come!

I like this idea. In my opinion, the more exposure the fanzine gets, the better. I'd also like to make this thread (or a similar one) a sticky so that it's always prominently displayed on this site. IIRC, Kato's forum and Paul's site usually end up near the top of the Twilight 2000 Google search results.

I used the email function on this site to send to Paul, but I couldn't attach the file. I requested an email back, so then I could send the file. Just waiting on that.

I also agree, that the more places this is available, the better it'll be. Likewise, it'll be good if everyone that likes it helps spread the word about it. More views = hopefully more interest in the game
More interest = hopefully more contributors, which means more issues

Have a question - are you only looking for things that are new for the fanzine or can we post things there that were previously posted here?

The USN section and the Raellus piece on the 173rd had been posted here but were fleshed out for the fanzine. However there are some excellent things that have already been posted here that probably could go directly into the fanzine as is.

Stuff like:

49th Armored Division

The list of stuff that could be found by players instead of just the usual weapons, spare parts and food.
